It was mentioned how certain HPS mechanics from healers cannot be conveyed to RLs or healing meters to further quantify how a healer is performing, the specific example given was Ancestral Vigor for RShamans (+10% to health from certain spells).
This was from about 2 weeks ago. Has there been any further development on this that can be clarified? What about RShaman Mastery? That I feel is a tricky thing to quantify, but can be a good thing to be able to monitor when it comes to progression verses farm and how the average health of the raid effects that metric. The obvious answer being farm hurts RSham mastery more than progression.
Another mention from the Q&A was Ascension fighting with High Tide on the same talent row and the Hide Tide/Chain Heal interaction has been on the PTR now for about a week or so. So my curiosity is now geared towards what else was mentioned for RShaman. Spirit Link was also mentioned, but Details shows that metric between the damage reduction and the health exchange, as well as the Azerite Trait that throws out an instant heal when the totem is dropped.
Oh, my sweet summer child...

The easy answer for one of the issues is that instead of increasing max health by 10% vigor would give a shield that absorbs 10% and bada bing it shows on meters.
Make the second tier of resto talents baseline and bring back Ancestral Guidance or Ancestral Awakening. I also like Gbombs idea.

How do they balamce ancestral vigor of theu cant quantify its usefulness. Slap a number on it? If amcestral vigor is their justification id rather they re.ove that talent altogether. Its not impactf, its a borong talent, that you cant really feel the effecta off in a raid.
